They do have an Arctic Circle (or at least they did when I was there some years ago). This having been said, however, I actually think the place is intersteing in a past-its-prime-western-town sort of way. It is far better than, say, Tucumcari, NM, for example.

I love Tucumcari.
It's got that brilliant "Tucumcari tonight"* slogan going for it.
How can you argue against a town that has that kind of snazzy signage for 200 miles in all directions?
